What's the best quoting app for pool builders in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for New Zealand and Australian pool builders that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month, billed in AUD even in New Zealand. A sample Insta Quotes pool builder quote itemises the job into consent, excavate, shell, plant and barrier lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for a pool builder in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so pool builders in New Zealand can quote before paying.
Is there a quoting app for pool builders in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes runs in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer, so there's nothing to install. Describe the pool, or upload site photos or plans on Tier 2 and Tier 3, and the AI drafts a quote in NZD with the shell, plant, coping and labour on separate lines and 15% GST shown separately.
How do I quote a pool installation in New Zealand?
Start with the pool type, size and access. The AI prices the shell, excavation, plant, barrier, coping and labour as separate lines in NZD, with 15% GST shown separately. Use the exclusions box for anything you're not covering, such as rock excavation, spoil cartage or consent fees, so it's agreed before work starts.
Can I quote a pool job from site photos or plans?
Yes, on Tier 2 and Tier 3. Upload site photos or a PDF plan and the AI turns them into priced line items for you to check. Tier 1 quotes from a typed description. Your own hourly rate and materials markup apply either way, so the numbers reflect how you price.
How do I make my pool quote easy to compare?
Itemise the shell, excavation, plant, barrier and surrounds so the client compares scope, not totals. Put heating, lighting or a cover as optional extras outside the total that the client can tick, show 15% GST as its own line, and set an expiry date so an old price isn't held against you.
Can a client accept a pool quote online and pay a deposit?
Yes. Email the quote from the app and the client accepts through the link on it. Turn on a deposit and they pay it at acceptance. The accepted quote converts to an invoice without retyping, and on Tier 2 and Tier 3 a long build can be billed in progress stages.
